The True Man
Ye shall be known by your works
The practices corresponding to the Rune Tyr or Tir consist of placing the arms high above the head, then descending them to the sides while the hands are cupped like seashells. When lowering the straight arms pronounce the mantra “Tiiiiiirrrrrrrr.” (The sound of the letters “I” and “R” should be prolonged in order to awaken the consciousness. )
“When you trace around yourself a magic circle, whether it is with your sword, with your willpower and imagination united in vibrating harmony, or with both at the same time, you must pronounce the following mantras:
Helion Melion Tetragrammaton העליון מעליון יהוה
“The magician defends himself against attacks from the demons with the magic circle and the esoteric pentagram.”
This mantra is related to יהוה, the Tetragrammaton, which as we see is in the left side of העליון מעליון Helion Melion.
In Hebrew the word העליו Helion means “the highest,” and מעליון Melion means “upon the highest.” So when we say Helion Melion we are saying, “the highest upon the highest,” which is יהוה Yod-Hei-Vav-Hei, Yod-Havah, the Tetragrammaton.
Magic Circle

Tendency, habit, custom, way of living or acting, shape, usage, virtue or practice. The three terms Sila, Samadi and Prajna are the Three Higher Trainings of Buddhism. Sila is ethics.
There are a lot of ways to interpret Sila. Do not use the word morality here, which is how many people translate it. Morality is completely subjective. What is moral in this country, is immoral in another country. What is moral in this culture, is immoral in another culture. What people in this group over here consider moral is considered immoral by us. So morality and immorality are completely subjective and have nothing to do with the laws of nature.
Ethics on the other hand are objective; they are universal. Violence is harmful. Anger is harmful. This is universal. Selfishness is harmful. This is universal. So this is what we mean by ethics.
Sila is about learning about our tendencies, habits, customs, ways of living, recognizing the ones that cause us to suffer and others to suffer, and starting to change them. That is how we learn to start meditating.
So the first thing is to start watching ourselves, all the time, and be honest with ourselves about what we see in ourselves.
